Developed in Switzerland, Manufactured for Global Markets
BIONTEC develops composite components in Switzerland and manufactures them at three coordinated locations in Switzerland, China, and Romania. Engineering and technology development remain at the headquarters in St. Gallen, while production takes place regionally where it makes the most sense for the respective market and required volume. In this way, BIONTEC combines Swiss engineering with scalable, global manufacturing.
This model answers a question that many buyers and product developers ask themselves: How can Swiss development quality be combined with internationally competitive series production? The answer lies in a clear division of roles between the locations and in uniform quality standards that apply regardless of the production site.
Swiss Engineering as a Commitment to Quality
At the headquarters in St. Gallen, in the heart of Eastern Switzerland, development, engineering, and innovation converge. This is where prototypes, sophisticated components, and new manufacturing solutions are created. Technological production expertise is continuously developed in St. Gallen for all locations.
At BIONTEC, "Swiss Engineering" represents a concrete promise of quality. Components are designed by highly qualified engineers from the DACH region who regularly undergo further training. This expertise forms the foundation of every project, from the initial simulation and fiber architecture to the production-ready process chain.
The Swiss location covers the entire spectrum. From development and prototype construction to the production of small and large series, it creates the foundation upon which global manufacturing is built.
A Network of Three Locations
BIONTEC's manufacturing is distributed across three locations with clearly defined roles. Each location fulfills a specific task within a common, standardized process chain. The following table provides an overview:
Switzerland: Development, Engineering, and Demanding Production Programs
The headquarters in St. Gallen is the technological center. In addition to development, engineering, and prototyping, high-quality and sophisticated components as well as small to large series are manufactured here. At the same time, the location secures and expands the technological production expertise of the entire network.

China: Scaling for International Markets
The location in Suzhou is geared toward scaling and large-scale production. It brings manufacturing closer to international markets and strengthens partnerships in the Asian region. This allows larger volumes to be realized economically and close to the market.

Romania: Expanded Capacity for Fiber Placement
The Lugoj site is strategically expanding its production capacity for fiber placement. Here, preforms are stitched, while consolidation takes place at other locations. This strengthens Romania's scalability in preform manufacturing.

Global Manufacturing with Consistent Standards
A manufacturing network spanning three countries only works if everyone follows the same rules. This is exactly where BIONTEC comes in. Standardized processes and continuous knowledge transfer between sites ensure that a component maintains the same properties, regardless of where it is produced.
For international customers, this results in short supply chains and regional manufacturing for global markets. Production moves closer to the point of use, without development authority and quality responsibility leaving Switzerland.
Whether carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) or glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP), all components follow the same process logic. Load-path-oriented fiber placement using Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) forms the basis, with consolidation occurring via thermoset Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) or thermoplastic Hot Compression Molding (HCM). This standardized process chain applies to all locations and all fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) in the portfolio.
Consistent Quality Worldwide
Consistent quality across multiple countries is no coincidence; it is the result of an integrated quality system. BIONTEC operates according to uniform standards at all locations.
- Uniform work instructions: Identical specifications for every production step
- Standardized manufacturing processes: Consistent process parameters at every location
- Unified quality management: Centralized quality assurance control
- Traceability: Complete documentation throughout the entire production journey
- Process monitoring: Continuous control of all relevant parameters
- ISO9001 and EN9100: Certified standards, including for aerospace applications
- Location-independent serial production: Reproducible quality, regardless of the production site
What This Means for Customers
For our customers, this model translates into tangible benefits. You receive Swiss-engineered quality combined with the flexibility of global manufacturing.
- A single point of contact in Switzerland: Centralized support throughout the entire project
- Faster industrialization: Direct path from engineering to series production
- Global supply capability: Supplying international markets from a single network
- Local production for global companies: Manufacturing close to the point of use
- Meeting customer needs and specifications: Better coverage of individual and regulatory requirements
- Consistent quality worldwide: Identical standards at every location
- Shorter logistics and delivery times: Reduced distances through regional manufacturing
Conclusion: Developed in Switzerland, Manufactured Worldwide
BIONTEC demonstrates that Swiss engineering and global manufacturing are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. Development remains in Switzerland, production scales across China and Romania, and uniform standards ensure that quality is the same everywhere. For customers, this means Swiss engineering depth, global supply capability, and reproducible series quality from a single source.
